## The Problem

LEDES bills for Patent Prosecution matters get kicked back by clients and e-billing portals for vague narratives — realization drops and the billing coordinator chases lawyers for rewrites.

## What We Build in PatSnap

AI rewrites narratives to match each client's outside-counsel guidelines in ipManager, flags block-billing, and pre-validates against the portal — write-down rate drops from 12% to under 3%. Purpose-built for teams running PatSnap — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## PatSnap Integration Approach

1. **Audit your PatSnap configuration.** We map the specific PatSnap objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your patent prosecution practice.
2. **Build on the PatSnap API or agent.** Integration happens inside PatSnap — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in PatSnap with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
